    Women's Restroom, Taken 3/11/2024
    Jennifer F.

    Such a beautiful park to have a nice stroll. It was a sunny, Monday morning when I visited. I parked along the residential neighborhood and began my walk. Every person I saw, greeted me with a simple hello. I even had a nice conversation with a British woman named Linda! This park had multiple paved paths. I loved the old bridge and details on the restrooms. I loved the waterfall that lead into the stream down the middle of two paths. I saw lots of birds and turtles. Such a beautiful place to photograph! If I'm in the area, I will love to visit again.

    Beautiful, serene, and small park with lots of greenery, wildlife, and walking paths. Highly recommend.

    What a majestic park situated in the center of a diverse neighborhood. Located between the lower part of the hill and slightly upper, this a great space for walking, jogging, meditating, or picnicking. So many turtles, ducks, and squirrels here all surrounded in a tranquil setting. A perfect place for transients to live but I didn't see any. Yes I did say transients. This is still San Pedro and there's quite a bit of activity at the bottom of the hill. The bathrooms were meticulously clean with soap and toilet paper too!

    Lowkey, ducked off, exploration, few people, nice vibes, bathroom, undercover pathways.

    Absolutely beautiful park. So many trees and wildlife. You'll forget you're in the city as you meander along the trails and across the bridge, spotting turtles and dragonflies. I love all the ducks, and spotting the tiny ducklings throughout the year is a delight. The first time I came here, I felt like I had ventured into the jungle themed area at Disneyland. Only this is so much better I've been here probably a dozen times now and haven't even really explored all of the park. The trails have built in benches throughout and the little waterfalls give such serene sound. If you live in Pedro and haven't visited Averill Park, or you have friends or family coming to visit, be sure to take them to this gem. It'll take their breath away!

    Fun waterfalls and long pond full of ducks and turtles. Big grassy area for picnicking. Currently a little "crowed" on the weekend, meaning you'll be passing people on the path around the pond. But weekdays it's empty and you can duck-watch without shimmying around families. I like to park on Averill Park Way and make the climb up to the rose garden and gazebo.

    Medium size park, very pretty and relaxing. It smells a little funky maybe due to the ponds. Definitely a little work out due to that the road is hills and there's a lots of grassy hills. A lot of trees and wildlife. Not enough picnic tables. Ive been to better, but fits my needs.

    What a cute little but big park lol. Came to walk my dogs here and I loved it. Plenty of shaded areas and enough space to bring a picnic blanket and lay under a tree. I did see lots of people taking professional pictures, but everyone seemed to be respectful. Lots of ducks, turtles and birds in the pond area. I definitely will come back here. I think you can reserve picnic tables with a bbq. And nice area to go for a workout walk. There are public bathrooms. If you go let me know what you think...

    What an amazing little find in San Pedro near Western Ave. With rolling hills, grassy areas, beautiful majestic trees, a little pond, and even a gazebo. This family friendly park is truly a diamond in the rough. I noticed the picnic areas "tables" were by reservation only, so be sure to call the numbers posted everywhere. Street parking surrounded the park on all sides, and we didn't have an issue finding parking.

    Really beautiful setting, but there was no playground that I saw! It was hard to find a path for a wagon or stroller, so it's best not to bring it if possible.

Started off someplace else and just continued on to see and stop off at all the locations nearby. There's a good amount of parking along the street as well as some along the neighborhood. The park itself is overly big but it does have a good size to it. The nice massive trees lined the area. There's a nice little path along the sides where it looks out to the Pacific Ocean and the cliffs below. It was low tide so seeing the tide pools was quite beautiful. Along the path are little covered area which are label by number. Like mini covered patio with a table and seat. They too all looks out to the water. I believe there was a total of 8 seating enclosures along the path. Also, loads of squirrels roaming the place like it's nothing. They are not scared of you so be warn. Clearly there were signs not to feed the wildlife but there was people out with bags of peanuts feeding them. In the middle of the park is a little stage area and with benches. I'm sure they have theatre in the park happening if that's set up. And a playground around the side of it. There's also a lighthouse which is a focal point of the park. Situated right in the middle which now double as a museum. It's a cute park that I never knew about. Decent size for picnics or a nice wander around. The view alone along the path was spectacular. The cliff edge is dangerous so practice caution. Common sense, but they also had signs posted about suicides. It's a cute neighborhood park as along the front are homes right across the street.

There is a scenic path along the edge of the park that is a relaxing walk, fresh air and breeze. The fruit sellers have a good variety of fruits, even cactus fruit. The pergolas with tables are prime spots, if you see a table open swoop in and grab it right away or it will get swooped up! In my short visit, I saw families, romantic couple and a guy jamming out on a guitar and a motorcycle club taking a rest break.

Though the county took an epically long time to fix it, the street has since been repaired, but they chose not to reopen the street. Before, Paseo Del Mar was accessible to Western Avenue. Like many of the neighbors, I am glad that they chose to keep it closed. In the past, people would speed down this street with little disregard for those walking, running, or biking. Lots of people use this route to run or walk and also walk their dogs. Most people are friendly and will wave or say good morning as they go by. There are 2 little mini parks along this path that people can relax at, in addition to going down to Point Fermin park, where the famous lighthouse is located. I've seen some people sit and have picnics or sit in their cars and enjoy the views. I've also seen some of the neighbors have a house party and people overflow to the parks. The sunrises and sunsets are amazing and at times, you can hear the water crashing below. Many of the homes over here are beautiful and some are in need of renovations, but either way the eclecticness of the neighborhood comes together beautifully. For the most part, people take good care of their homes. There are some losers who park and smoke weed right here and try to look all innocent as you go by, but it's reeking from their car, so you know what they're doing. So yes, this area does attract some riff-raff, but for the most part, I've never had an issue working out over here whether it's daylight or night. It's a pretty safe area and the police often drive back and forth down here and throughout the neighborhoods.

A good amount of parking in the lot next to the basketball courts. Right along the bell is a massive grassy knoll where people were enjoying picnics and laying out. Of course today was beautiful but it was quite windy. Didn't help that the park was little higher than the rest so it made the wind a bit more aggressive. The focal point, the massive bell. With a walkway that leads you to the prize possession. Right in the middle looking out to the Pacific Ocean, she sits there on full display. The bright beautiful color of the details painted was a sight to see. Stairs leading up to the bell where you could walk around. It is roped off. Regardless whatever side you're looking at, it's was quite amazing. Something like this on a hill that's part of the city. If you walk down the grassy knoll, the view of the pacific ocean and cliffs were spectacular. Having a seat and just taking it all in was nice. It was windy so it did get cold but on a nice sunny and clear day, you could see miles and miles of the coastline and tide pools. These little hidden spots in the city are cute when you find them. There's also a little playground around the corner from the bell by the exit and entrance.
